Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Senator John McCain’s “maverick” reputation is built – in large part – on his repudiation of money’s influence on politics. Now, a New York Times investigation is raising questions about McCain’s ties to a Washington lobbyist. We look at the media’s relationship with McCain, and how the timing of today’s story by the nation’s “paper of record” may impact the race for the presidency.
